Hi, I'm David Jackmanson, an avid amateur photographer living in Melbourne, Australia.

I've been taking photos since 2006. I'm very interested in noticing and documenting the beauty and majesty of my everyday surroundings. Food, buildings, street art, animals, public transport and odd little bits and pieces often attract my attention.

Documentation is important to me. A building isn't merely beautiful, or interesting - it was built in a particular place for a particular reason. That context matters.

I take most of my photos on low or medium-end phones. I'd like better gear, but the money for it is short right now. And that's fine. Learning to push low-end gear to its limits is an important discipline. Frustrating sometimes, but the amount of beauty you can wring out of cheap equipment is incredible.

As of 2018 I've been including full image descriptions on every edited photo, so people who use screen readers can access them. And as of 2019 I've also been posting the original, unedited versions of photos, in case people are curious about how I've edited them.

I hope you enjoy my work.
